Special Considerations
Variety and Fairness
To ensure a dynamic market environment, we implement policies to avoid the repetition of exhibitors.
We aim to not approve more than 2 spaces per exhibitor to allow for a wider variety.
We do not guarantee the same venue/spot allocation as the previous year, especially not after two years in a row.
Application Form
Complete the online application form, ensuring all required fields marked with an asterisk (*) are completed. Don’t forget to upload at least one clear photo of your stall—this is a mandatory requirement. If you have any special requests, such as being placed against a wall or in an 'island' stall position, be sure to include them in the remarks section. Let’s come together and create an unforgettable Nickel Christmas Market experience for all!
